A Great Collection of Episodes,

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: The After Hours/ Time Enough at Last [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Making its debut on home video is the classic THE AFTER HOURS, which stars Anne Francis as a young woman shopping in a seemingly normal department store. After being locked in accidentally after closing time, the girl, Marsha, is visited by some strangely familiar mannequins.'TIME ENOUGH AT LAST' has Henry Bemis (Burgess Meredith) survive a H-Bomb that destroys civilisation and he the only survivor. Truly mesmerising stuff.

Outstanding collection of two magnificent episodes.,
By Leslie Karen Rigsbey (Wood River, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Twilight Zone: The After Hours/ Time Enough at Last [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"The After Hours" is a Serling gem, better yet a sterling gem. Anne Francis is terrific and the plot always seems to surprise. Brugess Meredith has HIS FINEST role in "Time Enough at Last," the most twisted, ingenious, and remarkably unforgettable episode produced for the show. Like "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Outer Limits," Serling's series will remain a landmark on the history of television.

Life and Death Come in Many Forms,
By gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Twilight Zone: The After Hours/ Time Enough at Last [VHS] (VHS Tape)
`THE AFTER HOURS' remains just as fresh and effective as when it was first aired on June 10, 1960 and its lingering haunting imagery remains engraved into one's subconscious. Who can ever forget Anne Francis as Marsha. Her impeccable performance and exquisite face are indelible. "Marsha" that very name and the way it was repeated over and over was so eerily unsettling sending chills down one's spine. This episode when compared to `WALKING DISTANCE' demonstrates the great versatility of Rod Serling as a writer. `WALKING DISTANCE' is probably the best prose that Serling ever penned where every bit of dialogue was so heartfelt and moving. In `THE AFTER HOURS' Serling gives us a more visual tale where the storytelling is more dependent on the images. Serling gives us a story of two strikingly opposite worlds that co-exist within a department store. The vivid contrast and the realistic depiction of those two worlds is at the core of this story that has a strange tinge of melancholy about it. Thanks to effective lighting, production design, photography, Douglas Heyes' Direction and impeccable acting it succeeds on all levels and is one of the definitive episodes of the series. In `TIME ENOUGH AT LAST' a bank teller brilliantly played by Burgess Meredith is a man whose nearsighted-ness is only matched by his preoccupation with reading. Becoming the only survivor of a devastating H-bomb catastrophe he is finally able to pursue his only real passion in life: reading and then more reading. Rod Serling's story interestingly juxtaposes the ultra-introverted world that Burgess Meredith has created for himself with a New World truly void of those human interruptions that would otherwise interrupt his self-imposed solitude. Due to a twist of fate however, the viewer must ponder how will he ever survive? `TIME ENOUGH AT LAST' first aired on November 20, 1959.
